The Rutgers Master Gardeners of Camden County are presenting “Waste Not, Want Not: A Beginner’s Class on Composting” on Wednesday, May 13 at the Camden County Environmental Center, 1301 Park Boulevard in Cherry Hill. Sign-in is at 6:30 p.m. with class starting at 7 p.m.
This class, part of the Rutgers Master Gardeners’ “Back to Basics” series, will teach about how to leaves and kitchen waste into free, valuable fertilizer for plants while helping to keep waste out of landfills.
The speaker is Gwenne Baile, a Master Gardener of Camden County.
Weather-permitting, the class will include a brief tour of Camden
County’s new compost area. Both traditional outside composting as well as worm-composting, which is great for apartment dwellers, will be discussed.
Pre-registration is strongly suggested. The cost is $10 per household. For more information or to register, call (856) 216–7130, email njgarden@camdencounty.com or go to the website, http://camden.njaes.rutgers.edu/garden.
